Fred-n-Sara

Fred had yesterday off and I’m still on maternity leave (I go back Nov. 2), and the weather was great today, so we took the boys to the pumpkin patch close to our house.  And we all had a good time picking out pumpkins.  I think we’ll make it a annual event!  Here are a couple pictures from our trip.  You can find more on our photo page.

Cal wanted to walk the kid’s maze instead of ride in the stroller since he’s a walking machine now!

Cal thought this was a good pick

He liked this one too.

The little one is his favorite though.

Both boys had a good time!

Yep, Cal is walking now.  Look out!  Fred has a video to post, when he gets a minute to sit down (the boys and I keep him pretty busy around the house now!).  My baby is now a toddler!

Yesterday my grandmother, Cal and Olie’s great-grandmother passed away.  She had been sick for over a month but is finally at peace.

This is a picture from Calvin’s birthday party, after all the excitement of the day, he got to sit with his great-grandma and take a relaxing ride around the pavilion. I’m not sure who enjoyed the ride more, my grandma or my son.  She loved all her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren with all her heart, especially the babies. We will all miss her.

Calvin’s new thing now is to bring books to Sara and I and make a whiny “huh” noise. This “huh” noise means he wants to us to read that book to him.

Tuesday while I was at work Sara texted me saying that Cal brought her the Sonic game for the Wii and started whining “huh.”
He wanted to play video games!

When I got home Cal did the same to me, but instead of putting in the horrible “Sonic and Secret Rings” game I pulled out the Smash Pack for the Dreamcast and loaded up the original Sonic the Hedgehog.

Cal figured out that the buttons made Sonic jump. He loved watching the Hedgehog jump and loved the “boing” noise even more. The game held his interest for about 5 minutes, until he decided it would be more fun to pull out and put back the controller plug.

Here is an image of Cal playing Sonic the Hedgehog for the first time:
